If you have a mental illness, you are not alone!

One in five American adults will have a mental illness during their lifetime that is severe enough to require treatment. Many more have problems that prevent them from enjoying their lives. We are here to stand by you as you find help, hope, and recovery. Fortunately, effective treatments are now available for many mental illnesses. Unfortunately, most people do not seek help. Many wrongly believe their symptoms are their own fault or are caused by personal weakness. They think if they try hard enough they can overcome their problems by themselves, and they suffer unnecessarily.

NAMI Wichita would like to reassure you that you are not alone. There are many others who have shared questions, anxieties and experiences similar to yours. NAMI Wichita supports not only those living with a mental illness but also the loved ones that stand behind them. Join and help us secure a better quality of life for all who are effected by a mental illness.

Great food selection and great visiting occur when we gather for our potluck dinners. NAMI Wichita folks know how to cook, and we always have a wide variety of tasty choices when we gather. Remember that NAMI provides the main dish, table service and beverages. In the past, the Spring Picnic has been our lasagna night, and you’ll know before hand with your personal invitation (sent by email or regular mail) if that changes. Please bring a complementary salad, side dish or dessert to share. Aside from plenty of time to visit with your NAMI family, we’ll have time to review planning for the May 4 NAMI Walk in Topeka to assure we’re prepared to raise as much money as possible for our local programs as well as for the state NAMI Office. The Board of Directors is also planning a Focus Group Experience for a part of the evening and hopes to have a full house to participate. The Picnic is open to all members, family members and friends of NAMI. We have plenty of space for everyone in our regular meeting location, so we hope to see you on April 2.
